Specification forming part of Letters Patent No. 201,494, datedMarch 19,1878 5 application filed December 4, 1877.

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, JOHNSON Braces, of the city and district ofMontreal, in the Province of Quebec, in the Dominion of Canada, haveinvented certainnew and useful Improvements in Cooking and HeatingRanges; and I do hereby declare that the following is a full, clear, andexact description of the same.

The object of this invention is to construct a portable cooking-ran ge,which(r shall have a tire-place adapted to heat a room adjoining that onwhich the range is used, when inserted in the partition-wall, wherebyone re serves for cooking and heating; also, in the arrangement ofvarious compartments of the range, for broiling, baking, and boiling,the former being on each side of the lire-chamber, the baking-ovensabove the same, and the boiling performed on the top of the range, thelues provided with dampers for controlling the products of combustion,whereby the heat may be concentrated to any one part of the range, asoccasion may require; and my invention consists, iirst, of a cooking andheating range capable of being placed in a partition, having two fronts,served by one fireone a kitchen front, having fuel-aperture, ovens,potholes, broiling and warming chambers, &c., and the other aheating-front, having doors which can be thrown open to view the firefrom the room adjoining the kitchen; second, in the arrangement of thekitchen-compartments of the range, wherebythe heat may be concentratedin one or more sections by means of dampers, said arrangement beingbroilin g-chambers at the side of the fire-chamber, baking-ovens overthe same, and pot-holes on top, along the front, for boiling; third, inproviding the top of the range partly with an elevated chamber, throughwhich the concentrated lues pass, subdivided to form a hot-Waterreservoir and a dish-warmer.

In the drawings, Fignre l is a perspective view of the kitchen-frontofthe range. Fig. 2 is a like view ofthe heating or parlor front, andFig. 3 is a longitudinal section of the same.

A is a range, having in the front intended for the kitchen any number ofovens, l 2 3, arranged above the fire-chamber 4, which is ,centrallysituated, and provided with sliding doors 6 and a coal-chute, G, forconvenience of feeding fuel, and below the same an ashpit, 5, on thehearth. B B are partitions in the range, from front to rear, to form ordivide the lire-chamber, which partitions are i pierced below the oven 1with smoke-apertures 7. The ovens 2 and 3 at their ends are supported bythe front and rear of the range, and have a circulation of heat andsmoke around them, as shown by the arrows, in the nues. Below the ovens2 and 3 are formed broilingchambers 8 and 9, provided with doors,nregrates, ash-doors, drawers, &c., the odor from the broiling-chamberspassing directly up the nues.

The top ofthe range, longitudinally, is formed with an elevated chamber,21, through which passes vertically the tlue 10, which connects with thechimney, and which chamber is subdivided to form a hot-water reservoir,having a cover, 11, and a dish-warmer, having door, 16. In front of theelevated chamber 21, on the top of the range, are placed pot-holes 12and a boiler, A13, which, for rapidity of heating, is provided with ahollow truncated cone in its bottom, to present increased heatingsurfaceto the products of combustion.

The dining-room face of the range has sliding doors 14, opening to thefire-chamber 4, and which may be left open to view the flre when thedoors 6 are closed. Below said doors 14 is shown a door, 15, to theash-pit 5.

17, 18, 19, and 20 are sliding dampers, operated from the ends of therange to close the oven-nues, to direct the heat from the firechamber toany one or more of the ovens.

The range, being constructed substantially as described, is adapted tobe placed in a partition and built in at the ends with bricks, andfinished with a mantle-piece, as is done in the case of brick chimneyswith iire-grates.

The range, when placed in a partition, is adapted to be used inconnection with a castiron chimney patented by me July 9, 1872, or toconnect with an ordinary stove-pipe iron "chimney; or when not so used,the range is ,holes above said'ovens, as and for the purpose portable,and can be set in any desired posiset forth.
